I would say it's worth noting that this Thursday marks one year since 787 achieved first power on. It's been a heck of a year since Boeing first flipped the switch on the first Dreamliner and having just wrapped up the intermediate gauntlet, Boeing has released three new videos detailing the round-the-clock testing on ZA001. The video also gives the first glimpse inside the 787 cabin and the setup of all the flight test stations

During gauntlet, as I mentioned, ZA001 is being operated just as if it were in flight. The only difference is it's still on the ground. We have pilots at the controls and a team of engineers at work stations in the back of the airplane. The doors are closed and everybody is on board for the duration of the "flight." Believe it or not, meals are served on board and the lavatories are working!
